Check if string in list contain all the elements from another list-CodePudding

I have two lists and I want to check if my list of strings contains all the elements of the second list.

I would like it to return True only if all the elements in list2 are in substrings of elements in list1 (True in this example).

Here is my code :

list1 = ['banana.two', 'apple.three', 'raspberry.six']
list2 = ['two', 'three']
        
if all(elem in elem in list1.tolist() for elem in list2):

CodePudding user response：

substring = [i for e in list2 for i in list1 if e in i]
if len(susbstring) != 0:
    return True
else:
    return False

CodePudding user response：

Try this:

list1 = ['banana.two', 'apple.three', 'raspberry.six']
list2 = ['two', 'three']


def check(strings, substrings):
    for substring in substrings:
        if not (any(substring in string for string in strings)):
            return False
    return True


print(check(list1, list2))

CodePudding user response：

You were close. You need to combine all and any according to this: check that all strings in list2 appear in any string in list1. Directly translates to:

list1 = ['banana.two', 'apple.three', 'raspberry.six']
list2 = ['two', 'three']

if all(any(sub in string for string in list1) for sub in list2):
    print("Success!")
